Here are mine. I got them on Friday. Both are culls from a breeding program
 
We love our Muscovies. Cupcake is our male and is the most gentle, sweet creature. He and Confetti are our originals, and very tame. Salt, Pepa and Jessie are additions that came in the last two months. But, they are doing well and enjoying the good life. Pepa will eat from our hands but won't let us pet her. Salt is getting closer to us when we feed, as well as Jessie. Jessie is the closest to hand feeding. All but Jessie came from the same seller. Jessie came from a place where Muscovies ran wild over several acres. The man who was selling them said he estimated he had over 300 Muscovy ducks on his property. He had the most awesome assortment of size and color. Out of the five, Jessie spends the longest in the water. She will dive, swim and then just float on top with her wings spread out, like she took a big sigh and just stayed in that position. If she isn't disturbed she will float for 20 or more minutes, just relaxing. We have a feeling this stems from her not having this kind of access to water on teh wild property.

My older son picked out Jessie because of her feathers. He loves iridescence. He even has the hood of his car wrapped in a type of iridescent vinyl.

Once we move into the country in two to three years, we want to get some blues. Then we would have a rainbow!
